Method
- 1 Boil quail eggs for 6 minutes, then soak them in cold water and peel them carefully.
- 2 Chop the shrimp coarsely, then mix with minced pork, scallions, and pepper for 5 minutes.
- 3 Wrap a 1 cm thick layer of filling around each quail egg and roll it into a tightly sealed ball.
- 4 The filling must completely enclose the egg; if there's even a small gap, the egg will crack and burst open in the oil.
- 5 Roll in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- 6 Fry in oil at 165 degrees for 6 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
